What a great weeked with three tottaly differant weddings

Thursday because I was the DJ for a wedding in the Banqueting Suite at Stock Brook Manor on the Monday of this week, and there were no conferance in the room on Tuesday or Wednesday I was able to leave all my equipment set up for my thursday wedding, as Hannibal used to say "I love it when a plan comes together" So the evening started with me driving my son Murray to the De Rougemont Manor, as he was the DJ at an 18th Birthday Party there, we dropped him & his equipment off, then set off on our journey to Stock Brook Manor, we arrived with plenty of time to spare, I was met outside by the Toastmaster, we had a brief chat about timings of the firs dace etc, we then informed the photographer, videographer etc, however as with many good plans, there was a fly in the ointment, at the start time we were all in position ready to start, looked up and could not see the bride & groom, after a quick search the photographer had taken them outside for a few more pictures, not a problem, we just adapted and waited for them to finish, then the Toastmaster introduced the 1st dance, to raptuous applause, and as a complete surprise to all their friends and family they did a perfect routine to (Ive Had) The Time Of My Life from Dirty Dancing. This was followed by an evening of some of the best dancing I'd seen for a long time.

At the end of the evening, we had to move the equipment onto the stage, as Fridays wedding wanted me on their, then a quick drive to Brentwood to collect Murray

Friday Another Disco for a wedding at Stock Brook Manor in the Banqueting Suite, the only differance from the norm, is that I was on the stage, and set up in the middle of the room.

I'd had a lot of chats with the couple over the past 12 months, so new exactly wahat they required, a mix of old party classics, and some top tunes from the 80's which I was more then happy to provide, once again another great night with some real party animals

Saturday This time I was providing the wedding entertainment at Stock Brook Manor, this time the Rosewood Suite was the room, I set all the equipment up the night before, so there was no disruption to the event when I turned up later in the evening.

These were a little more reserved with a majority of the guests a little older, but I persviered with them, and one them over with a packed floor
